WMFTS WMArchitect Interchangeable Parts service for single-use assemblies
Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS) has introduced WMArchitect Interchangeable Parts to secure a resilient supply of single-use assemblies by including pre-qualified, alternative components in the design stage to avoid regulatory compliance interruptions and long lead times.
As per the service, the company works with its customers to assess form, fit and function for alternative components; interchangeable components are then advised during the early assembly design stage of the assembly specification. WMFTS proactively monitors the lead times of components to track whether there are gradual or sudden changes. When a component flags, the company can pivot quickly to source a pre-agreed alternative.
The bioprocessing service eliminates the disruption of reduced component stock and potential production shutdowns, to instead enable a simplified way to substitute in suitable components with shorter lead times. By agreeing on alternative component options during the design stage, customers can avoid the supply constraints of a specific component such as tubing, tri-clamps and other tube fittings. Biopharmaceutical companies are thus offered a flexible solution to the uncertainty of choosing substitute components and the absence of clear guidance in standardised criteria.
Interchangeable Parts is fully supported by experienced specialist scientists and a Validation Testing team. MFTS has adopted the BioPhorum best practice equivalency assessment method to address any concerns over compatibility, performance and safety. Full compliance and traceability is maintained, and by swapping in a component that is more easily available, disruption to workflow is limited.
WMArchitect single-use solutions is an end-to-end biopharmaceutical fluid management solution from a single supplier. It is designed to offer both standard, ready-to-use single-use assemblies as well as customised designs that are fully supported with tailored validation packages.
